What: Swiss-style
tournaments of the Campaign Game using the latest version of the
Living Rules will be held in both the two- and five-player versions
with occasional use of the three- and four-player games as needed
to prevent byes. Everybody plays. No one sits out.

There will be four six-hour rounds with the option to play
longer each evening in Rounds 1 and 3. Games not ended by the
time limit in Round 2 and 4 will have the option of adjudication
or playing on for doubled points a la Backgammon by unanimous
consent of the players. Games that end early will have the option
of playing an additional round for bonus points. This way everyone
is guaranteed a minimum of four games - and some will play more
- regardless of the variable endings of the sudden death victory
conditions.

At least four of the enlarged mapboards (and possibly more)
for use with miniatures instead of counters will be provided for
the ultimate in playablity.

BPA plaques will be awarded for each event supplemented by
best overall performance plaques by each nation - providing plenty
of wood opportunities as well as a chance to improve your standing
in BPA's annual Caesar
competition.

Why: Waterloo will provide a competitive forum for repeated
play of this popular card-driven wargame with the "buckets
of dice" combat resolution system without distraction from
other events. Whether you favor the two-player wargame or the
five-player diplomacy version, there will be multiple opportunities
to engage in your favorite.

Who: Your GMs will be the designer and developer of
the game. Mark McLaughlin will handle the 5-player version while
Don Greenwood does the honors for the two-player game. The entire
Last Stand Team (Ben Knight, Stuart Tucker, Roy Gibson and Fred
Schacter) will also be on hand to compete in what we hope will
be an annual extravaganza for this - our favorite game.
